‘Scary Movie’ Funnyman Joins ‘Scream IV’ Cast

Entertainment Weekly appears to have a stranglehold on the Scream IV casting as they’ve not only confirmed the near addition of “Gimore Girls” MILF Lauren Graham (final talks), but they also report that Anthony Anderson (who ironically enough starred in the Scream spoofs, Scary Movie 3 and 4) and and Marielle Jaffe (Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief) will join newcomers Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere, Rory Culkin, Lake Bell, and Nico Tortorella in the Wes Craven directed sequel shooting soon at Ann Arbor, Michigan from a screenplay once again by Kevin Williamson. Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette return to the franchise when Dimension releases it in theaters on April 15, 2011.Pictured: Anthony Anderson, left, and Marielle Jaffe
